Why "Playing Cards"?

[Dave Egleston]

Why name the tab "Playing Cards"? obviously it's nice to list it, but why not "Guardians". ,,, maybe theyll start selling other kinds of cards...

Birthday cards, business cards, credit cards ......

maybe they'll get more. I doubt it. BUT...

Someone visits therory11.com for there first time.looks at the sections and sees guardians. Obviously he has no idea what guardians is. I have another question.
Why is the sky Blue?

The sky is blue because I made it that way.

At any rate, they'll probably start releasing other cards eventually. It would make sense if they started carrying regular bikes, trick decks, etc. If somebody buys guardians and decides to switch over to them, they'll probably want them in Invisible, Rising Card, Svengali, Stripper, etc. I'm not a fan of trick decks myself, nor am I a fan of custom cards. I stick to regular bikes, because spectators rarely ask questions about them. It's much easier to convince skeptics that red-backed bikes are not a deck of trick cards.

I don't get why some people can't handle custom decks... just don't buy them... whats wrong with making more cards? I love it bring um on.

The following quote was taken from the Cardistry/Flourishing section:




From this we know for a fact that more will be released, but when - no one is sure.

It's not that I can't handle them. I used to swear by Ghosts. They were all I performed with, and my gaffs and Invisible deck were in Ghost format. Then I realized something. Performing with Ghosts did not heighten my spectators' reactions above what I would expect when performing with regular decks. Suddenly, I could not longer justify spending five dollars a deck plus shipping when I could go to Costco and get a dozen packs of bikes for $13.50. Regular bikes handle fine, are cheaper, and will achieve the same reactions as any deck of custom cards. If you want to spend your money on custom cards, that's up to you, but I'll stick with regular bikes. I'm very tempted to pick up a pack of Guardians just to see what they're like, but I doubt I'll be switching over any time soon.

lol, wiki is a credible enough source when it comes to school work...and i seriously doubt why the sky is blue has nythin to do wit playing cards, lol.

i dont see whats wrong with having more decks...its interesting to try out new decks and see what designs people come up with.

MoooO!

That was random!

Anyways, I think the more cards the better as long as they put in the effort.

Thanks,
